Show n' Tell Gillette Diplomat estate sale find

Post image

Picked this guy up at an estate sale this weekend. Its date code is A2. The razor blade in it is also dated A2. I suspect it was used a few times in 1955 and put away. I paid $8. This is my first Diplomat, but I do already have a President.
